  1. Re:Kurzweil's ultimate project is immortality. on Why Ray Kurzweil's Google Project May Be Doomed To Fail · · Score: 2

    I think he takes seriously the Woody Allen quotation, "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying."

  2. Re:Well no on How Much Beef Is In Your Burger? · · Score: 1

    I told the guy who served me in a McDonalds in Japan, "This burger tastes rubbery" and he just replied "Thank you velly much"

  3. Re:Does Microsoft make bad versions deliberately? on 'Gorilla Arm' Will Keep Touch Screens From Taking Over · · Score: 2

    Java applets were so called because they were small apps. Just like a booklet is a small book, a cutlet is a small cut (of meat), and a piglet is a small pig.

    Just like a goblet is a small gob, a toilet is a small toi, and a couplet is a small coup. Really, English is so simple I don't know why people have problems learning it.

  4. Re:Nazi America on TSA 'Secured' Metrodome During Recent Football Game · · Score: 2

    Yes, and drop the "T". Just call it the SA, so we know who we are dealing with.

    I know where I live (Chicago) - you can't spit without finding someone who is an out of work web geek.

    Speaking as an unemployed web geek from Chicago, I wish you'd stop spitting on me, you insensitive clod!

  9. Re:Why are we discussing this? on Cosmic Antimatter Excess Confirmed · · Score: 1

    No, you've missed the point here; what concerns him is which of the particles is glossier than the other, and which is matter.

  10. Re:Prognosis? on Google To Shutter Knol, Wave, Gears · · Score: 2

    So you're saying the prognosis for Google Health is not good?

  11. Not in Pakistan on Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google Chase 'Got Milk?' Patents · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that a message like "Get milk" would be blocked in Pakistan anyway.

    Well how dare you send emails about naked shingles? You wanna know what I think? I think you're some kind of deviated prevert.

  13. Re:What constitutes "survival"? on Human Survival Depends On Space Exploration, Says Hawking · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is it just the transmission of DNA?

    Then if it is, then transmitting our DNA via high powered radio telescopes would be far cheaper than a space program. Next would be including DNA samples on anything leaving the solar system (pioneer, voyager, new horizon).

    I tried doing that when I worked at NASA but I got fired when someone saw me.

    Here is my pullout plan:

    1. Pack everyone and everything up 2. Leave.

    You obviously haven't been to Cairo, Georgia (pronounced KAY-row) or Versailles, Kentucky (pronounced vur-SALES). I sometimes think that certain Americans feel the need to do this deliberately just in case you may have accidentally overlooked the fact that they are ignorant hillbillies.
